The lowest cost 17.5 motor and ESC combo I have seen is the Speed Passion Citrix Series "Stock Club Race" ESC and motor combo (17.5T) that retails for under $90. Part number is SPA12280175 and I have one in my FF-03 and so far it works brilliantly for the price.

the cirtix system is fine, if everyone is running them, they are slower then a "normal" brushless motor and esc is blinky mode. they choice is up to you, I ran speedpassion for years, now novak. happy with both.

There is nothing wrong with the citrix ESC, the motor is slower because its a "Sportsman" motor that allows no adjustment of motor timing (which is legal in blinky, your just not allowed to add any esc timing)

When you get better keep the ESC but go buy yourself a decent used brushless motor that will allow you to advance your timing some and get more rpm out of the motor. The important thing in blinky is to keep from hitting the walls. You need to gear the motor as hard as possiblte without getting the motor warm. Everytime you slow down because you bumped a wall and the motor has to start from 0 again it adds a lot of heat to the motor, so someone driving smoothly and not hitting anything can gear the car to be faster than someone who bumps a wall every now and again

i appreciate the tips! is this motor so slow that i'm going to get slaughtered?

Actually I'm pretty sure you can adjust the timing on the Speed Passion motors. It's just not as easy as say Novak's ballistic. I think it was Solaris who works for SP that said it in the Speed Passion thread.

You can. I just loosened the screws on the back and twisted the plate counter clockwise 7min (from 12 o' clock position) and tightened it back up. It was noticeable faster on the straights - let just say I am not getting beat because the motor is too slow anymore.
